Learn more about the services we offer our members below.

Lobbying

NYNPA President Diane Kennedy is a registered lobbyist who monitors the New York State Legislature on behalf of the newspaper industry. She is tasked with keeping a watchful eye on all legislation that could affect our members and the industry as a whole.

Newspapers in Education

Newspapers in Education (NIE) is a worldwide effort in which school textbooks and teaching materials are supplemented with the use of the local newspaper. The habit of reading a newspaper provides the necessary practice to build reading and writing skills and develop an interest in the welfare of one's community--valuable skills and attitudes to carry students through life.
